System Security Engineer (SSE) will provide technical support to formally register Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition programs with their applicable cybersecurity program(s). SSE will assist in conducting trade-off analyses and will integrate contributions from system security engineering disciplines such as anti-tamper, cybersecurity, exportability features, hardware assurance, software assurance, supply chain risk management, and security specialties (personnel security, industrial security, physical security, etc.). Essential Job Functions: Responsible for ensuring the development and delivery of cybersecurity and program protection capability for DoD acquisition programs through an approach based on cost, schedule, performance, and risk. Lead evaluation and balancing of security contributions to produce a coherent security capability across the technology system and the DoD acquisition program, integrating all aspects of system security. Assist in conducting trade-off analyses, integrating contributions from various system security engineering disciplines. Focus on cyber survivability to assess the system's ability to perform its mission and functions despite cyber-attacks, by anticipated adversaries, in a cyber-contested environment. The outcome of the SSEs efforts will be a comprehensive program and system protection strategy within the constraints of cost, schedule, and performance, while maintaining an acceptable level of risk.
